This the Jim Carrey movie?

Hardy. This is from 1961 and is the first black and white movie screened on the show since Horrors of Spider Island.

Canada is 0-2 for this season. Everything in the movie is just so blah and lifeless, which gets further emphasized by it being in black and white. Even the attempt as a Mole People-style prologue falls flat, as the guy they have narrate it is no Gesture Professor. The one exception to this tedium is the trippy 3-D sequences, which aren't as gimmicky as these things often end up being.

Favorite riffs

"And I can tell you that even though I'm not superstitious, I wouldn't put it on for all the wealth of the Indies."
Or a Klondike bar.

"This is a living nightmare. And you don't want to help me."
Well, ya got me there.

Hey, you got your Carl Jung in my Lovecraft!
Well, you got your Neil Gaiman in my Freud!

You can't handle the mask!

"What happened, Dr. Barnes?"
Something wonderful.

"You could do with some rest yourself. You look kind of tired too."
You'd look tired too if you were Batman, I mean, a normal man!

"This is horrible! What will the neighbors say?"
Probably something about the smell.

"Did he have any friends or relatives?"
Does a Sailor Moon body pillow count?

"Would you be interested in psychoanalyzing a girl who's madly in love with a doctor?"
Oh, I know this one, the doctor is his mother!

Dear Abby, I've developed feelings for my therapist. Would it be weird to mail him a cursed mask upon the event of my death as a token of affection? Sincerely, Lonely in Winnipeg.

Irises and pupils and cataracts, oh my!

"But he had no medical training."
Oh, so you need a doctorate to navigate the realms of Hell!

And I hope you're not going to embarrass us like this at the Graysons' cotillion tomorrow.

Donna Reed is The Fugitive!

Okay, if I stole a cursed totem, where would I go?

I got me a car, it's as big as a whale, and it's about to set sail.

No Pokémons in here.

Mr. Snuffleupagus is real, and he's dead!

He's broken everything else, and now he's coming for the fourth wall!

"Miss Albright?"
Depends. What did she do?

Oh, you found my Horcrux.

Pull the string!

Thank you for using Mask. Be sure not to operate heavy machinery after applying Mask. Do not combine Mask with alcohol or other masks. Mask is not responsible for any car chases or murders the operator commits. Side effects include greasy face and crunchy pants. Ask your doctor about Mask today!

"Yeah, but a hunch won't stand up in court, will it?"
Thank God for bribes!

Let's see what she's won, George! It's a greasy disgraced psychiatrist! Embarrass your parents and make your friends uncomfortable with this sweaty 1961 fiancé!

So what brings you to the River Styx? You know, the Styx isn't the only river in the Underworld. There's Phlegethon, Acheron, Lethe, Cocytus. Anyway, first time in Hell?

Yeah, that'll happen when you put your occult alter right over a gas main.

Wanna know how I got these scars?

Turns out I can't handle the truth!
